Enjoy your stay in our brand new barn cottage with queen bed, full bathroom, full kitchen & laundry. Look out off the front porch at our peaceful sweeping front acreage, including our winding driveway and 10 acres of hay fields. Bring your boats, campers, tents, etc. as there is plenty of room to park them or set them up. 2 adults & 2 children (that can sleep on an air mattress or smaller roll out camping mattress) can fit snuggly into our cottage.
You are welcome to utilize the entire tiny house, including the washer/dryer & closets. You may walk around and explore the entire property (up the hill behind us or down across the street to our creek.) If we are outside you are more than welcome to come visit with us, our dogs & our puppies. Otherwise we pretty much keep to ourselves. If you need anything, just let us know!
We are also Bline’s Awesome Aussies & Doxies! We breed puppies year round up at the house: Australian Shepherds, Aussiedoodles and Long-Haired Dachshunds. You are likely to encounter many of our fur-babies, running up to greet you or barking at you in warning. We have a giant livestock guardian dog who protects the property. His name is Lando. He frequently will come up and bark his warning barks at you, He is a complete sweetheart on the inside. He just wants to make sure you know who’s boss. If you are traveling with any pets, it is very important that I am there when you arrive so I can introduce our animals to your babies. We have Goats, Sheep and chickens on the property too.
We do have a hot tub set up under the carport that may be available for use depending on if it’s clean and functioning while you are here. :). Please inquire in advance of your interest.
While you’re here enjoy our pristine Dale Hollow Lake, known as one of the fishing capitals of Kentucky! Hourly or daily boat rentals available at the local marina. Walk along the peaceful creek at the bottom of our property right across the street from the driveway, Fish in our little pond (depending on water levels at the time you are here), play with puppies, pet on all our furry friends and watch our baby goats frolicking in the field! Or keep to yourself, stay cosy in our peaceful cottage. Our farm has goats, rabbits, chickens (think fresh eggs :) and of course Dogs! If you LOVE dogs, then this is your place.
You can walk back down the driveway and across the road frontage to the peaceful Creek that runs through the hollow. Enjoy the cool water, but please plan on wearing shoes in the water as the slate is very slippery. You’re welcome to climb up the hill behind the old barn to the top of the ridge if you’d like. Make sure you wear long pants and close toed shoes. Please spray yourself down with tick & bug repellent if you are heading up there during the spring or summer months. You may enjoy our little pond and you are welcome to go fishing. Please be aware we do have dogs and they may bark at you at first. Our dogs are loose on the property only a few at a time. They may bark when they first see you, but all are friendly. We have a huge Anatolian Shepherd guard dog. His name is Lando, he doesn’t trust vehicles, so he will bark at you and your car! However, as menacing as he may appear, he is harmless and a giant 140lb lap dog.
If you have dogs, please do not walk them up and around our dogs at the main house until we’ve already helped properly introduce them to each other. A welcome guide is available with local restaurants, marinas and more with their operating days/hours. Most restaurants are closed on Sundays, except for Subway and the IGA grocery store in town.
